FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 80.
ANOTHER STAY FOR sHARp.-Dr. Hamilton,

ANOTHER STAY FOR SHARP.-Dr. Hamilton,
who was detailed to make an examination
OF Jacob Sharp's physical condition, reports
that the prisoner refused to allow an e2aml'
nation, and pushed the physician away
with force. He, however, did not think the
prisoner any worse than he was several
months $50. and he did not think ne was in
extremis. DR.. Fowler reports that Sharp is
in ftcondition to be moved, and the sheriff
was ordered to take him TO Sing Sing to-
dsy. The order in the case was settled to-
day. Notice of an appeal to tbs court of ap.
peals was filed yesterday. A messenger
arrived at Albany yesterday evening, and
met Chief Justice Ruger, who, without hest
tation, granted stay in Jacob Sharp's case
until Oct 6. The messenger then returned
to New York on the fret train, and the
notice was served on Sheriff Grant. The
effect will be TO prevent Sharps removal to
Sing Sing to day, and, while the stay is but
temporary, it is believed it will be SO ar
ranged as to be Kept in effect until the Court
of Appeals shall have finally passed on the
appeal.

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper il,

the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni.
cling of the history ofwhat is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. II is always
welcomed in the household while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for Oh.
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is SO close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion OF our own domain as well as
from every part of the habtable globe.
it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full aud
complete history of everything that occurs
. and near the city, and this feature will,
Is ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
nond and every section of theState, is pub
ished regularly, and all events Of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
nonwealth are to hc found in the columns

The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
